Chapter Eight
It had been exactly one month since Sophie's death, and since then, I'd been having nightmares. Buck had taken me to Dinotopia to take my mind off of things, and he'd taken me on pterodactyl rides, Rudy prowls, and we'd even played chicken with raptors. He'd obviously let me win, but I guess he was just being sweet.
We were in the ice age now though, and Buck and I were out star-gazing, he was such a romantic. A beautiful night, we could see the northern lights, shooting stars, you name it. Fireflies were all over the place, making the mood even better.
"Suzy." he said, standing up, I stood up as well. "I'd like to ask you something," he got down on one knee and took my hands; my heart soared past the sky, past infinite space. "I know we've only known each other for a short time now, but I just love you so much. I wanted to ask you, if you'd do me the honor of being, my mate."
I smiled so big my face hurt, "I'm surprised someone who knows me as well as you would have to ask!" with that I tackled him and kissed him… over and over and over… "Of coarse I will! I love you so much Buck, so much." I was crying tears of joy.
"I love you too," he gave me his heart-melter smile, and a one-eyed wink. "so much."
(Author's note)
Asia: and the rest is history! ;) The next book will be out pronto! I promise! Swear on Rudy's tooth! Love you all and thank you for reading! Tell your friends! Oh, and I do not own any of the ice age characters, just the ones I made up, Ray, Sophie, Megan D(Who is a real person, so if you try to break the law of copyright, she'll be royally, royally pissed off and come to your house and beat you with a sock full of dimes! Luvs ya lots Megs ^^) Jillian, etc.
P.S. Here's a sneak-peak at the next book!:
"Let me go help him!" I demanded, trying to get away from the bull headed male.
"Are you blooming mad? Suzan, you'll be killed."
"He's my mate, try to stop me and see what happens!" with that I ran through the pouring rain and crashing thunder towards the enormous monster. Fire all around me, just like a nightmare. It all. Went. Black.
Dun Dun Dun! That's all I've got so far, but I shall continue writing! ^^
